JOXEMPLOYERS WHO HIRE NEW WORKERS DEMAND TECHNICAL- AND SOFT-SKILLS; WORKONE CAN ADVISE WHERE YOUR SKILLS STAND AND HELP BOOST THEM!   

A brighter employment horizon prevailed thoughout Indiana's Northern Tier during March 2012, with north-central Indiana (Region 2) riding the trend to a 9.4 percent jobless rate, a nice drop from 9.6 percent during the previous month.

Nonetheless, every out-of-work Hoosier seeking to secure employment should make bolstering their skills — both technical abilities and soft skills — a top priority.

The reason a plan to boost skills is important for every job seeker is because local employers will hire only individuals who have acquired the skills necessary to accomplish fully the duties of an open job. For a local employer to do otherwise would set their operations on a path toward inefficiency, which in turn would lead to declines in productivity.

WorkOne staff members are eager to assist job seekers in developing a personal plan to elevate their skills; moreover, WorkOne staffers have expertise in guiding individuals to bolster their technical- and soft-skills.
